Get a First Look at CW's Brand-New Shows (Including a Vampire Diaries Spin-Off I Know We All Wanna See)

This morning, I woke up bright and early to head to the CW upfronts red carpet to interview some of your fave stars from The Carrie Diaries, Arrow, and more, as well as meet the cast members from the network's new shows. I'll share all my fun interviews soon—so in the meantime, let's take a look at what CW's offering up this year:

Reign

I'm so amped about this show, which revolves around a young Mary, Queen of Scots—the costumes, the history, the drama? Yes, please.

Star-Crossed

I talked to stars Matt Lanter and Aimee Teegarden about this midseason sy-fy. Both described it to me as District 9 meets alien Romeo and Juliet meets the landmark court case Brown v. Board of Education. Shew, that's a lot to fit into one program.

The 100

Another midseason sy-fy—this one's a post-apocalypse look at what it's like to be the first person on earth after 100 years.

The Originals

This Vampire Diaries spin-off is by far the most anticipated of the new fall shows. Star Daniella Pineda, who plays witch Sophie, told me, "It's a little grittier, and it's a little edgier [than Vampire Diaries]. There's going to be a lot more slashing and blood—and I'm a horror movie fan, so this is right up my alley."

The Tomorrow People

If you like X-Men, Heroes, or other shows/movies about hot people with special abilities, this one's for you.

What show will you watch? I'm definitely adding The Originals and Reign to my queue!
